Desired Results
Co-Teaching: List the co-teaching style you’ll be using and why you have chosen this co-teaching method.
-Teaming is the main method we have chosen because it is important to students to hear the skills from both instructors. We also both have our strengths within teaching different skills.
-One teaching and one assisting will also be incorporated into this lesson because as students are being instructed by one teacher the other will go around to help with individual work.
Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:

- Students will be able to use skill learned in previous lessons for example, passing, catching, dodging, stick-checking, cradle, defending, face-offs, and rules in tournament.
